SLE12 does use systemd

outputs of SLE11 SP3 SP4 and SLE12 as requested:

# cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="SLES"
VERSION="12"
VERSION_ID="12"
PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12"
ID="sles"
ANSI_COLOR="0;32"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:suse:sles:12"

# cat /etc/SuSE-release 
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (x86_64)
VERSION = 12
PATCHLEVEL = 0
# This file is deprecated and will be removed in a future service pack or
release.
# Please check /etc/os-release for details about this release.

# cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 3

# cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 4

os grain is SLES in sle11sp3 and sle12, but it is "SUSE" in sle11sp4, I suppose
it's a bug there?
